 Its is thought that the road is Wade's Causeway, which connected the Roman camps at Malton and Cawthorne with the east coast.Also to the south west is the Keldy Castle estate, which was requisitioned from the Reckitt Family during the Second World War as an army camp.The castle (actually a stately home with crenellated walls) was destroyed in 1950 after being declared surplus to the requirements of the owners.
